Contemporary Christian pop-rock legend Jars of Clay released its new CD, The Shelter, last October 2010, buoyed by carrier single Out of My Hands. After the lackadaisical performance of the first single, the band turns to the title track for a second go-round with Christian AC radio. Hopefully, these programmers will be more open, because Shelter is stellar.
SHELTER Lyrics
Jars of Clay
To all who are looking down
Holding on to hearts still wounding
For those who’ve yet to find it
The place is near where love is moving
Cast off the robes you’re wearing
Set aside the names that you’ve been given
May this place of rest in the fold of your journey
Bind you to hope
You will never walk alone
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
If our hearts are turned to stone
There is hope we know the rocks will cry out
And the tears aren’t ours alone
Let them fall into the hands that hold us
Come away from where you’re hiding
Set aside the lies that you’ve been living
May this place of rest in the fold of your journey
Bind you to hope
We will never walk alone
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
If there is any peace
If there is any war
We must all believe
Our lives are not our own
We all belong
God has given us each other
And we will never walk alone
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live
